5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Series! Make sure to get the repackaged release
Great Series! Horrible packaging for the first release.

You probably have already read all the horror stories from other reviews about Alliance's packaging. The good news is they stopped using the horrible packaging. So make sure you are buying the new repackaged version that properly protects the discs in a standard keepcase, and not the original stackable...

1.0 out of 5 starsHorrible Packaging Causing Defective DVD's - DO NOT BUY!
All Alliance DVD sets are defective. Amazon has replaced all sets in Outer Limits and Earth Final Conflict more than 4 times. When I open the box, most DVD's fall out. There are no spindles holding the discs and they are piled on top of each other, rubbing against each other causing severe scratching during shipping. There are flimsy clips holding the edges of only some...

All Alliance DVD sets are defective. Amazon has replaced all sets in Outer Limits and Earth Final Conflict more than 4 times. When I open the box, most DVD's fall out. There are no spindles holding the discs and they are piled on top of each other, rubbing against each other causing severe scratching during shipping. There are flimsy clips holding the edges of only some discs. Someone at Alliance needs to be fired for changing long tested packaging that has worked for the last few decades. In addition, many episodes are edited from the original broadcast version.

You probably have already read all the horror stories from other reviews about Alliance's packaging. The good news is they stopped using the horrible packaging. So make sure you are buying the new repackaged version that properly protects the discs in a standard keepcase, and not the original stackable tray release.

The UPC code for the repackaged release is 065935847397 (ASIN: B0076QS2ZQ). The old release that you want to avoid is 065935839088 (ASIN: B003P3DZGU).

This is a GREAT Series and Product! All quality is very good with exception to the packaging. Handle the Product with care, and there won't be any problems though. After Season 2 however, these are edited for content only. But, much better having an edited for content product than nothing from MGM!! Thank you to the Manufacturer for FINALLY making and distributing these!!!

I have recently acquired all 7 seasons of The Outer Limits, and this season I actually had to send back twice because as reported earlier or in other reviews, the discs can be scratched. Fortunately, the third batch worked out well. Amazon did tack on a note saying they know there is an issue with the discs getting scratched and are looking into it, so that's good.

As for the edited episodes, that could be a good thing I guess. Maybe for the nudity and such because people came to watch a sci-fi show, not a adult film. A little is fine with me, but I wouldn't over do it. Not sure what else they edited out, but honestly, I think the edited versions are great. I don't remember the original episodes that aired on TV, although I did see them starting around 1998.

This not the series from Showtime don't buy this Its the Canada edited version the only American version of this series is season 1 and is not edited i'm hoping Time life or some other company comes out with the full versions of these shows. Because the series is awesome. I will be waiting till then
